    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

New Brake Shoes Too Tight

I just put a new pair of EBC FA609 on my 82 GS450TXZ. The went on easy, but seem to be too tight to slide back into the drum. How much resistance, if any, should there be getting the brake assembly back on the drum/rim?

Welcome to the forum. If I could make some suggestions?

First about this post, specifically. This thread was never responded to and has been dead for over 6 years, probably for a couple of reasons. A quick google of EBC FA609 shows me that these are brake pads for a disc brake. The OP mentions getting the brake assembly back into a drum. Some of our bikes do have a drum rear brake. So there's a discrepancy there.

Secondly, It's a good idea for any new member to introduce themselves in a intro post in the GS Owners forum. Before that, put you're bike year and model in your signature, then you'll never have to type it again. Go to Settings at the top right of this page, then My Settings, Edit Signature. It will be very much appreciated.

Then come back to the
Tires/Suspension/Brakes forum, and start a new thread outlining your problem. You're sure to get some help.
